The only thing you're in control of
You bringing your most self-aware, emotionally intelligent self to your place of work is the only thing you’re in control of. This control is likely to be severely tested as you go through your day by:
People not in control of their emotions
Unclear priorities
Volume of work
Complexity
Work that lacks stimulus
Bureaucracy
Technology fails; and
Other outside factors
However, if you can stay in control throughout these events then it’ll be a good day. The challenge then is to repeat it the next day and the next day and the next day…despite what the world may throw at you!
